The obstacles I found when presenting mysticism to philosophers could be delineated into three categories; 1, It is a mythology, or fairytale, with no...
I was aware of the elevation of the victims of October 7th victims to an exalted state, even deification, martyr’s ( a Muslim martyr has a lower statu...
So mind is fully there, but still I ask the question and wonder if I can see one distinct feature about "mind" that is there. And we have nothing. Mys...
Either way, it's possible that Western Philosophy "proper" (with some exceptions) only avoids these schools because of prejudice concerning connection...
With the support of Egypt. The Arab countries don't want them in either due to their history. Whether "prison" is an appropriate term is debatable. Ga...
Yes, of course please continue, I would like to myself on occasion. But I am short of time and level of concentration at the moment due to other commi...
I don’t recognise your characterisation. It’s true that in the post WW2 settlement there was a tacit understanding that Germany in particular and Euro...
The racism issue has become politically weaponised in the U.K. However the reality on the ground is not so bad. Although there are workforce issues an...
By the way, the constituencies of Norfolk are Conservative. The Labour Party no longer held the urban constituencies they once held in Norwich North a...
I’m very much a mystic rather than religious. I had this experience and various others like it in the early 90’s when I was exploring spirituality. I ...
We are mainly going by climate, a little drier and sunnier, so the southwest, or northeast, like Suffolk. We are pretty flexible and hoping to find so...
Quite, kills two birds with one stone. Keeps Europe weak and keeps Russia weak also. But I don’t think that the U.S. intended a war in Ukraine, but ra...
I don’t think one can separate the moral case, or cause, from the legal case. I doubt that a Palestinian would seek to separate them. Without wanting ...
From the moment Putin threatened NATO with nuclear weapons (was it the first day of the Ukraine war, I think). It sent a shiver up the spine of the EU...
When he made those casual threats it wasn’t directed at Ukraine, it was directed at NATO. Look at it this way, say Russia invaded Poland next. If NATO...
Nuclear deterrence doesn’t work anymore. Because Russia is just carrying on with conventional war regardless. We know Putin is not scarred by nuclear ...
There are people who claim to have met God in their lucid dreams. But obviously and unfortunately the claims cannot be verified in objective sense. Al...
So it’s a tutorial now is it? I don’t have a compelling reason, or perceive an injustice on one side. These are established facts and opinions. Unless...
I agree with everything you say in your last point with the following caveats. Regarding the historical record of the inhabitants of the land in quest...
Well one can speculate, however we are talking of an occupying force (U.K.) gifting occupied land to a newly introduced occupying force (Israel). Perh...
To appreciate, I mean to understand, to be aware of. I do understand the security concerns, however I am of the view that Israel’s security would have...
Something weird is going on in Australia. They’re gonna fry in a few years. Must be that problem with populism I was talking about. Saudi is investing...
They obviously are AS other considerations. What I’m questioning and solicit people in this thread to give a more serious thought about is whether the...
What if the self is the linguistic heritage? This question is as confused as any other, but then, we are trying to communicate and only have words, ou...
Another point I thought of regarding anti-semitism: Could you think of another country whose hostage posters would be torn down if its citizens were k...
The only real question left is how we’re going to solve this existential problem. The solutions are already being employed and they’re worth looking a...
Quite, a distraction. Often people get diverted onto plastics and recycling so that they continue using fossil fuels. While thinking they are doing th...
I can see that there might be some leaching of chemicals into the body from micro plastics. But if there is toxicity, where has it come from? Are plas...
It is horrific and for citizens in the West, very disconcerting. Because our so called just, compassionate, fair nations are complicit, or have their ...
Therefore, as far as I’m concerned, framing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in terms of “humanitarian concerns”, “international laws”, “war crimes”, ...
I would demand iron clad treaties with both Israel and the US on a right of return for all civilians before I'd do so. It’s gone beyond that now. Isra...
